To overcome the problems of generating .h files on Unix, I have updated the
Makefile.am (the automake make files) to be more robust so that if the line
mode browser isn't installed on your system it tries to generate them using
a perl script.
I have also updated the documentation on how to get boot strapped at
http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#Boot
In order to get this change, please do the following
cd libwww
cvs -z3 update -d
This step is described in
http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#update
Then run the following commands
aclocal; automake; autoconf
as described in
http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#Boot
now rerun the configure script with the options that you want, FOR EXAMPLE
CFLAGS='-g -Wall' ./configure --with-zlib --with-regex
and then a normal make:
make
I hope this will make life easier - the steps above are normally mostly
done automatically but making them explicit help prevent potential problems.
Changes are as always described at

Thanks,
Henrik
